Veterans Memorial at James Madison University.
Memorial dedication reflects Madison tradition
James Madison University will join in local observances honoring America's military veterans over the weekend preceding Veterans Day. JMU's participation in the Veterans Day observances continues a Madison tradition of excellence in citizenship, service and honor. The university's ROTC program has consistently been ranked in the top five percent of more than 270 universities nationwide, and JMU alumni have a long history of military service. The Sunday dedication of a new memorial to honor the area's fallen veterans will culminate events. Learn more.
